Believe me, once you start your housemanship in Malaysia it is vital for you to keep a small notebook with all the lists of abbreviations they use around here. I spent my first one or two months here blinking in confusion whenever I hear some abbreviations spewed back and forth by the other docs. To save face I have to ask another HO about what in the world they are talking about. Now this is happening lesser and lesser, but still sometimes there are new abbreviations you encounter which you'll have to commit to memory.
